Proposal: Malkin to CGY

[SeanMoneyHands]

To CGY: Malkin + 2020 1st
To PITS: Monahan + Brodie

Malkin would make the Flames older but he would be a huge upgrade on Monahan. The cap would work since we unload Brodie too. Brodie would make a decent replacement if they are in fact shopping Letang.

Why would the Penguins do this? The 1st is on the wrong side.

There should be no 1st on either side

 

[treple13]

I will admit, Malkin would be tempting, but no from the Flames.

Here's the thing. Malkin has put up one season better than Monahan last year since the lockout. Mostly due to injuries. But you can't forget that injuries exist and can get worse as a player ages.

If Malkin was guaranteed healthy I'd do this, but that plus the extra cap hit make this a no from me.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I wouldn't say hes a huge upgrade, Malkin is so inconsistent sometimes he's better then Corsby the rest he's Turris level. It's not like he plays with weaker wingers either, Kessel is pretty on par to Gaudreau.

No, this deal is just shit for the flames.

The extra 4-5 pts in production isn’t worth the 8 year difference in their ages. In a young mans league the nhl is heading towards, I don’t even consider this.

 

[JPeeper]

Why are the Flames trading their 24 year old center for a 32 year old center?

Yes Malkin is the better player, that's no debate, but Monahan will be a Flame for another decade while Malkin would be with the Flames for like 3-4 years.

 

[CraigsList]

Nope. Need Monahan for contract purposes.

 

[Deebs]

Terrible deal for Calgary

 

[OppositeLocK]

Players like Malkin and Crosby do not get traded.

Terribly wrong.

Flames fan here. Malkin is clearly still a higher level of talent than Monahan. However, at 33 he's just too old for the Flames to give up a major asset like Monahan for. The rest of Calgary's core is largely young, and the Flames don't have a solid pipeline of high end centers.

 

[Peat]

Rutherford's rowed back hard on the idea that he could trade Malkin and Letang and I think it would take a considerable overpayment to change that. So can't see this from either side.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Hard, hard pass for me.

There's no mostly. It's only due to injuries.

Flames would be stupid to move a 24 year old healthy and reliable Monahan for a soon to be 33 year old injury prone Malkin

That's not a smart trade for Calgary.....at all

Johnny, Backlund, 2020 1st for Malkin and Kessel

That’s extremely far fetched for both sides but it’s the only way I consider moving Malkin to CGY. Because I would want a plus on Monahan and Flames fans are reluctant to move him anyways

 

[Beauner]

hahahaha

 

[Drew311]

There’s no way in hell Malkin would agree to go to CGY.

 

[DFF]

Compare Malkin to Monahan is like kawhi Leonard to demars DeRozan. I'd trade Monahan for one year of Malkin IF he can still play.

This isn’t the NBA. One player doesn’t win you a championship and we’d just be shooting ourselves in the foot for the future

True but I doubt the flames can win with Monahan as the #1 center..nba or not

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOPPPPPPPPP. UGH.

Why is that? The Blues just won with Schenn and O’Reilly. Monahan is 3 years younger than both of those guys and continually out produces them. The Flames need a huge upgrade on Backlund and a guy that plays a little more physical
